L4D2 demo planned, pre-orders to get early access

A Left 4 Dead 2 multiplayer demo is in the works and some customers who pre-order the game will get early access, according to Valve.

Speaking to Joystiq, Vice President of Marketing at Valve Doug Lombardi said that those who pre-order the game from participating retailers or through Steam will get early access to the demo.

“With Left 4 Dead in particular we’ve found that word of mouth really is the strongest thing,” Lombardi told the Official Xbox Magazine. “With Left 4 Dead 2 we plan to do a demo before the game comes out that’ll have multiplayer in it. And hopefully we can continue the free weekends with the full game post-launch.”
